WEIGHING THE SUN.
The Most SURPRISING Result OF the Ad'
vanoement Of the Sciences.

The Most Surprising Result OF the Ad-
vanoement Of the Sciences.
The power we have OF weighing a
star is. without doubt, ons of the most
surprising results of the advancement
of the sciences, that one indeed which
persons unacquainted With the pr!n-
ciples of celestial mechanics most hesi-
tate to accept. To weigh star is a
fact more extraordinary, again, than
to measure the distance of one; and
certainly, neither Copernicus, nor
Galileo, nor Keppler, nor Newton
could have imagined that the day
would come when their successors
would be able. by the application OF
their immortal discoveries, to deter
mine the mass of star moving in the
depths of celestial space. Let us at
tempt to give an idea of the method
employed in acquiring a knowledge
of the magnitude and the masses OF
stars.
The mass of a star is calculated by
the energy of the action that it throws
around it. If the earth were ten times
heavier than it is. still preserving the
same volume, it would draw bodies
toward its surface ten times more
forcibly than it now does, and an OBJ
inct which now falls given number of
feet in the first second of time. would
then drop ten times that number Of
feet i'll that second. Again, if the
earth, still pres erving its volume, had
the mass of the sun, it would attract
bodies with an energy increased 324,-
600 times, and an object which now
weighs one pound would then weigh
$4,000 pounds; man OF the mean
weight of 160 pounds would weigh
81, 900, 600 of them! We measure the
weight of star by the intensity OF
the attraction to its surface. Reduced
to its simple expression, in its applica-
ton to the fall of bodies, this attrac'
ton would be hard to verify; but we
can determine it by the velocity OF
satellite gratitating around a star
rhose mass we wish to know.
For 6zsmple. the attraction OF the
earth has the Bower cf culving the
straight line which you'd be followed
by the moon in space if this attraction
did not exist, and it bends the line by
its attraction in such way that the
moon runs round the circumference OF
circle in twenty-seven days seven
hours and forty-three minutes. If the
mass or the energy of the earth should
increase, the velocity of the moon IN
it's orbit would also be augmented; II
the mass should be diminished, the con-
trary effect on the moons orbit would
be produced. Attraction varies in the
direct ratio of the masses. The We
locitv of the moon around the earth
comes from the same force as the earth
The earth is the hand which causes
the moon to turn in the sling. If the
earth had more force, more energy
than it really has, it would cause the
moon to turn more swiftly, and vice
versa. If the sun should increase in
weight the earth and other planets
would turn more rapidly around it.
and wears would decrease in length.
If the mass of the sun should decrease,
the contrary results would take place.
By comparing the action Of the earth
on the moon. we have found that the
sun is $4,000 times more powerful,
more heavy than the earth. .-PTot.

READY MONEY IN BANKS.
Difficulty of Cashing Very Large Checks al

Difficulty of CaShing Very Large Checks AZ
Any Financial Concern.
In a gathering recently Of five or six
men. most of whom are at least re-
puled to be wealthy, doubt was eN-
pressed by each one if there is man
i'm New York who could draw his
check for 81, coo, 900 and have it hon
ored in actual cash.
One of the group, 4 prominent
fnancicr. said: Il know of an instance
not long since which is fair illus'ra-
ton of these million dollar checks. a
London man had business transac-
ton in which a payment was to be
made TO him of eos 900 For business
r,asons he did not wish the checks to
be passed as in business transactions.
A check had been given to him on
Mills, Glynn, Currie q Co., who are
the recognized outside bankers of the
Bank of England. He went to
them and demanded the cash for
the check. They had not SO much
money on hand and were obliged to
ask him to wait until they could go to
the bank of England and procure it.
When he had secured the cash he went
to the other bankers to make depos-
it. The second house refused to ac-
cept the money on deposit until he
had explained to them in the fullest
manner where he got it. They had
never had so large deposit made in
cash at one time. They would not ac-
cept it without knowing where it came
from and looked upon him with sus-
picion for having so much cash in his
possession until he had explained the
circumstances of his business.
OF course the bank of England had
money enough to meet such check
pr much larger one, the same rs the
United States Treasury would be able
meet a great demand. But the
fact that f6S, 900 should be a stumper
for two of the biggest banking estab-
,ishments of London indicates how
small part actual cash plays in the
business transactions of the day.
